MATRIX Web Design Competition

4 min readJun 4, 2018

Background

Recently, MATRIX launched a voting campaign to let our community members pick one of two MATRIX website designs they prefer. We got so much feedback from the community and we found your enthusiasm to be beyond our expectations. Many from the community expressed desire to submit their own designs and compete, so we have decided to open up the competition!

To better improve MATRIX’s branding, and also to let more talents have a chance to get involved in our redesign, we are happy to announce that we are launching an open web design competition! We are encouraging all designers in our community to come forward with your creative ideas! Community is very important to us, so we want as many of our members involved as possible.

Requirements

We are looking for designs that can reflect our image, and art work that tells the world what MATRIX is really about. Dynamic, modern and most importantly INTELLIGENT.

Form

Draft design for the main page of the new website

Content

Ideas should be clear and logical. Please make reference to existing infrastructure project websites for rough guidance, such as eos.io, icon.foundation, neo.org, ethereum.org, sophiatx.com for good examples. A ‘partners’ section is not required, and reference to partners should be discussed in terms of use-cases as outlined in previous MATRIX official articles. The website must feel like that of an established platform, as opposed to an ICO project.

Size

No limits.

Materials

Materials are available at: www.matrix.io and additional information (which isn’t currently on the website) can be conveyed as you see fit.

The vector files of the logo can be downloaded HERE
